Comments
get out of communist china ,,assemble the product in the USA . get our workers back to work . here’s an idea –if American workers are back to work making money possible they would be able to purchase one of your vehicles ,,what a concept,,
Today’s China is as far from communism as Pluto is from earth. You are simply mis-informed bordering on ignorant if you think otherwise.
What logical business reason is there to “get out of China”? GM sells a ton of cars there and makes a pretty penny. The cars made in China are for the Chinese market (Buick Envision notwithstanding) so it has zero impact on GM’s U.S. business.
Also, American workers ARE already back to work, making money. Unfortunately, American workers buy Toyotas and Hondas and Nissans. But hey, maybe Japan should tell those three Japanese automakers to “get our of racist America”?!
